# The Apache Jakarta Tomcat 5 Servlet/JSP Container ## MBean Descriptor How To | print-friendly version
Introduction
Tomcat 5 uses JMX MBeans as the technology for implementing manageability of Tomcat. The descriptions of JMX MBeans for Catalina are in the org.apache.catalina.mbeans.mbeans-descriptor.xml file. You will need to add MBean descriptions for your custom components in order to avoid a "ManagedBean is not found" exception.
Including your own mbean-descriptor files
> You may configure custom components (e.g. Valves/Realms) by including your own mbean-descriptor file(s), and setting the "descriptors" attribute to point to a ';' separated list of paths (in the ClassLoader sense) of files to add to the default list under ServerLifecycleListener definition in server.xml.
>     <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.mbeans.ServerLifecycleListener"
>               debug="0"
>               descriptors="/com/myfirm/mypackage/mbean-descriptor.xml"/>
Adding MBean description to Catalina's mbean-descriptors.xml
> You may also add MBean descriptions for custom components in org.apache.catalina.mbeans.mbeans-descriptor.xml file.
